[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1191195] Re: Cannot launch banshee: Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

[Antonio19]

Eveything is working fine in my system and I don't consider it "broken".

My point of view is that Ubuntu is sticking with its "system build" to
antique version of libraries. I obviously don't know the full reason
why? This should in part comes from some developper / packager whom
chose to ignore the natural evolution of software which is part of the
so called "Ubuntu system build".

Eventually there will be no more security fixes for libpng12 from its
deleloppers @ http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html.

Linux is a free OS is not owned by Utuntu or other distribution.

When I have time I will look-up your information in order to build my
own packages when needed.

Title:
  Cannot launch banshee: Unhandled Exception:
  System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have the exact same problem as another bug already reported bug
  which has been marked as invalid.

  I strongly disagree with the term Invalid.

  When attempting to launch any version [even superseded ones] of
  banshee [for Precise 12.04 amd64] from the Command Line I get:

  $ banshee
  [...]
  [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  [...]
  [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.DllNotFoundException: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

  The reported missing library libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 is part of package
  libgtk2.0-0 (I have as well libgtk2.0-0:i386 installed) and is located
  at the right place. i.e.

  $ locate libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.10
  /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/lib/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/lib/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.10
  $ 

  The logs from strace and MONO_LOG_LEVEL are similar the earlier
  reported bug

  $ strace -e trace=open banshee 2>&1 | grep libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0\"

  $ MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug banshee

  What is amazing in the MONO_LOG_LEVEL is the reporting of fictuous
  libraries not found i.e.

  /usr/lib/mono/4.0/mscorlib.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No
  such file or directory

  Well have the .dll file (which is a Windows library extension type). I
  have never seen before a .dll.so (mixture of Windows and Linux library
  ?).

  Anyway I did have OpenGL installed and as well mesa (libgl1-mesa*
  packages).

  My Ubuntu 12.04 is properly functioning and obviously I have a lot of
  application installed. Of all the sound player installed only Banshee
  is unable to launch ...

  There is obviouly something wrong with this application.

  I am ready to provide further information upon request.

  In the mean time I will remove this application to avoid being annoyed
  by non functional updates from Ubuntu Updates required now a partial
  upgrade ...
